#thesummerchallenge2014

When Erika and I started #thephotochallenge2014 I was 100% on board.  I looked forward to it daily and had the best time taking pics to fit the prompts.  As Spring started and school/work got C.R.A.Z.Y., most days I forgot until I got in bed at night. hahaha

Here are a few of my personal favorite pics from the Winter...




Erika and I went through all of y'alls pics and we each picked our favorite four.  It was seriously SO HARD!!!  There were some great pics.  Here are our choices (in no particular order - hehehe)

- ONE -


- TWO -


- THREE -


- FOUR -


- FIVE -


- SIX -


- SEVEN -


- EIGHT - 


So - here's what you need to do!  Leave a comment with the NUMBER of your favorite pic.  You can vote on my blog and on Erika's as well (two votes!!!)  The winner will be announced later this week and they'll get a box of a few of Erika and my favorite things!

We couldn't let the challenge go completely.... so we decided to do this for the summer...

If we had started #thesummerchallenge2014 last week, here are a few pics I totally would have tagged :)

Griffin flipping through a Fall issue of Southern Living. Raising her right!
Someone commented with "train up a child" on my IG feed and I laughed so so hard. hahaha

Friday I brought the crazy train to the mall. :)

And we had tacos and hung out with our friends.


"And that, girls - is why leggings aren't pants" :)
That wasn't really what was going down.... but I thought it was too cute not to caption.  Presley looks SHOCKED at the news and Blakely looks guilty for sporting some leggings as pants. hahaha

Saturday morning Griffin (and her tippy toes) got into as much mischief as possible.

And I spent ALL MORNING packing up "What Griffin Wore" orders.

After  naps Griffin tried on her birthday presents from one of her InstaFriends, Arlee Dru :)

And then spent some quality time annoying the JUNK out of Mason. :)

Sunday morning ain't easy, folks.


 Sunday afternoon I ran some errands.  Along with Starbucks, a succulent and Rudolph :)

Monday we met friends for lunch at McDonalds and then hit up our home away from home lately, Lowes. Don't they look thrilled?!?!?!

This looks like a sweet picture of G staring off into the distance... but actually she was watching Luke pee in our bushes.  #littlesisterproblems #boymom

A selfie of me, bunny and my mini after naps yesterday afternoon.

So.... there you have it!  Cast your vote for your favorite pic and hashtag your daily pic with #thesummerchallenge2014 

In case you need a reminder...

ONE                                    TWO

THREE                                   FOUR

FIVE                                                    SIX

SEVEN                                               EIGHT
